THE ORGANIZATION
Bicycle Colorado is a membership-driven 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 1992. We envision a Colorado where riding a bicycle is always safe and convenient for everyone, where bicycling is the top choice for recreation and everyday trips, and where the benefits of bicycling are experienced and valued by everyone in our state. We are recognized as one of the nation’s most prominent organizations of our kind.
We advocate for bicycle-friendly policies and infrastructure and provide educational support to help kids and adults safely and confidently ride a bicycle. We also educate drivers to safely operate their vehicles in harmony with bicycles on the road.
Bicycle Colorado’s Denver advocacy arm, the Denver Streets Partnership, works to reclaim Denver’s streets for people walking, rolling, biking, and using transit and to build safe, healthy, and equitable communities. The Denver Streets Partnership believes in an equitable and vibrant Denver that guarantees our public spaces are designed for people.
